If dangerdork doesn't come back to us soon, I'm threatening right here in front of everyone reading this thread that I'm going to steal his thunder and post all the various spreads he's come up with in this thread!dangerdork said:I was playing around with the idea of doing readings from this perspective, and came up with the following:
Take the Majors only, pull the Fool, and turn it facing the other direction from the rest of the cards (i.e. so when they are dealt out face down, the Fool will be face up.)
Have the Querent shuffle thoroughly. Deal seven cards face down from the top of the pack and place them on the bottom (this represents one "Path Cycle" and allows for a more random chance that the Fool will fall on top).
Now lay out the cards, FACE DOWN, in the grid:
xx - xx - 03 - 06 - 09 - 12 - 15 - 18 - 21 (The Hidden Path)
00 - xx - 02 - 05 - 08 - 11 - 14 - 17 - 20 (The Inner Path)
xx - xx - 01 - 04 - 07 - 10 - 13 - 16 - 19 (The Outer Path)
I've spent a good part of this weekend test-driving this spread. At least for me, it works! If anyone else has given it a test-drive, please post. I don't believe anyone else has said that they've done so.
Since this isn't the Spreads forum, I won't discuss the cards or spread in any great detail (which is why I'm threatening to steal dangerdork's thunder so I can do so), but some interesting things came up for me.
- I didn't get a whole lot out of the spread just reading the cards in the particular path and station they fell in. I got a lot more out of it when I looked at the card that fell and the particular path and station and the home card of that particular path and station.
- One card fell in its home path and station
- Three cards fell in their home path
- Two cards swapped places
- I didn't ask a question, but by the second or third card, I knew what the spread was telling me about
- I have an idea about the unused cards in the spread, but I'll have to save that for when the spread gets posted to the Spreads forum
Back to re-reading the thread.
